Who should I send my cylinder to for a new sleeve?

Post by caseyracing222 »

I need to get a new sleeve for my yz250, long story short it the lower rod bearing shattered and the chunks ran up aside the piston and destroyed the nikasil. I dont want to get the cylinder replated, I was thinking about sending my cylinder to LA Sleeve so they can install a steel bore. Has anyone had any problems with them? like bad service, bad work, or them taking longer than they said. thanks.

I know you said you didn't want to replate but this place does great work and may do sleeves also but i'm not sure. I would replate but everyone has their own opinion. I've had 2 cyl. done by them and both have come back looking better than new. About $200.00.

Im thinking about just getting a brand new cylinder, its only $40 more and I can get it in 3 days with a piston. But I already have 2 junk cylinders that I dont know what to do with?
